Fall 2018: The Niyamas + Major Movers.

For Fall Semester of Yoga Club, we’ll return to the Niyamas. These are the internal observances listed by Patanjali in his 8 aids to Yoga (Astanga Yoga). The Niyamas move you towards yoga by re-aligning your inner world.

Parallel to the Niyamas (which are major movers of spiritual practice), we’ll study the “major movers” of the body. These are smaller, more subtle muscles; they're not super sensational because they are deep or asleep; the size and structure make them more difficult to feel and fire. However, once activated, they add another dimension of intelligence to your body and possibility for your practice.
